Walnut Tree Farmhouse

Walnut Tree Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with a date of 1613 marked on the bressumer beam of its cross-wing. It features a rendered timber-frame construction and a tiled roof. The original 16th-century plan consists of two cells, with a 17th-century cross-wing added. The building has two storeys and an attic, with an irregular arrangement of windows that were altered during restoration in the 1970s.

The facade includes a rendered plinth and a door made of four raised and fielded panels, topped with a flat hood supported by consoles. To the right of the door is an 18th-century part-leaded three-light casement window. The first floor features a two-light leaded casement window, with a small two-light casement above the door, a tall stair light from the 1970s restoration, and a two-light mullion window under the eaves. The gabled bay to the right has a four-light casement window with a transom on both the ground and first floors, along with the dated bressumer beam and a four-light attic casement.

Internally, the house has exposed timber framing, with the cross-wing heavily timbered. It features ovolo mouldings on the spine beam, chamfered joists, and a brick fireplace with a four-centred arch. The timber framing of the gable in the 16th-century range shows signs of blackening, while the roof timbers, which are of 17th-century style, include one row of butt-purlins and upper clasp-purlins with curved wind braces. The right-hand gable wall has a five-light mullioned and transomed window with ovolo mouldings on the ground floor and a five-light casement window on the first floor. At the rear, there is a large five-light casement on the ground floor of the cross-wing, featuring a moulded sill from an earlier window, a bressumer carved with crosses surrounded by diamonds, and a three-light casement in the attic. Additionally, there is a 20th-century plank door, two 18th-century three-light windows, and one four-light mullion window, likely from the 1970s restoration, on the ground floor of the main range, along with one three-light casement that reuses ovolo moulded mullions and two 18th-century three-light casements, and one five-light diamond mullion. A single-storey 18th-century wing is located at the left-hand gable.
